Canoe Booms

Our Canoe Boom design was developed following trials with coaching staff from the British Canoe Union. They are installed upstream of hazards (weirs, sluices, spillways, intakes, flood channels etc) to restrain canoes, kayaks, dinghies and other light craft.

These Canoe Booms can be orientated to allow experienced canoeists to pass while restraining novices that may get into difficulties in kayaks or other light craft if they continued downstream. We have had no reports of debris accumulation with these booms - the floats roll over it allowing the debris to pass through. The ends can be secured either with ground anchors, blocks, wall plates, etc; or with piles using fixed clamps or level compensator floats.
